A J Rav: Alongside the great and the good of the Premier League, my beloved R's will also be suffering from the loss of players to African Cup of Nations - Dieng and Chair are vital components of our best season in several years. It's just not fair!
QPR will certainly miss those players while they're away in Cameroon.

QPR 0-0 Bournemouth
Bournemouth are all over the home side now.
Philip Billing slides in Ryan Christie in the inside right position.
He makes the yard for the shot but hammers his effort straight at Seny Dieng in the home goal.
QPR 0-0 Bournemouth
How has he missed?!
Wonderful build-up play from the visitors ends with Philip Billing chipping up a lovely floated cross to Dominic Solanke at the back stick.
The England international HAS to score but heads it over.

QPR 0-0 Bournemouth
Bournemouth just starting to get a bit more of a foothold in the game now.
A win here tonight will send them top of the table.
QPR 0-0 Bournemouth
QPR are moving the ball around well at the moment.
They're comfortable passing the ball to feet but equally, with Lyndon Dykes up front, they're not afraid to throw a cross into the middle and let him fight for it.
Ilias Chair has a low shot from range that Cherries goalkeeper Mark Travers gathers comfortably.
QPR 0-0 Bournemouth
QPR midfielder Ilias Chair has gone down and is getting some treatment.
Would be a big blow if he can't carry on.
QPR 0-0 Bournemouth
This is a tough patch for Bournemouth and boss Scott Parker.
They looked to be making serene progress in their promotion bid but they're now five games without a win.
They're having to weather a storm in this one so far.
QPR 0-0 Bournemouth
QPR win a free-kick 25 yards out from goal.
Ilias Chair goes for goal but hits it straight at the wall.
A waste.
QPR 0-0 Bournemouth
This is QPR's first match since 5 December.
You could excuse them for being a bit rusty but they're looking pretty sharp to me.
They win the game's first corner but Bournemouth just about get it away.
QPR 0-0 Bournemouth
QPR spring forward and the ball is worked to Lee Wallace down the left.
He shanks his cross into the stand but the speed with which the home side piled forward was impressive there.
QPR 0-0 Bournemouth
Nice open feel to this in the first few minutes.
Looks like there is going to be space out there for the teams to exploit.
QPR 0-0 Bournemouth
QPR get us under way.
Here we go.
QPR v Bournemouth (17:30 GMT)
Bournemouth might be second in the table but they are winless in their past five matches and have lost their last two.
A win tonight would send them top but defeat to the seventh-placed R's would mean third-placed Blackburn would be a point behind with a game in hand.
Make no mistake, this is a massive game for Scott Parker's men.
It's been another highly eventful 12 months in the English Football League.
